cybersandwich,

It’s way better now. Matter fact, I swapped out my 3070ti for a Radeon 6900xt and I wish I hadn’t. Nvidia cards have so much more to offer and I never really hit major limitations in Linux. Ironically Ive hit more with the Radeon card.

cybersandwich,

The irony here, for me, is that after 2 years of not needing windows at all, even for gaming, I’ve had to tuck my tail and return to windows to play Apex. It’s been solid for 2 years, but about 2 months ago I started getting weird file validation errors. A patch seemed to fix it, but then last week its come roaring back and its unplayable. I’ve tried all the tricks, validating game files (always finds files that need to be redownloaded), clearing game cache, completely uninstalled, trying the flatpak version vs deb, etc etc.

The most irritating thing for me is that I dont have a clue who to report this too or what kind of information I can provide. I was using inotify tools to see what was happening to the files that corrupted them, but there is nothing I can see. It appears as though the corruption happens when steam is accessing the files (but there is no obvious writes happening, its all reads as far as I can tell. But who do I file a bug with? the proton devs? Apex devs? Steam devs? PopOS devs? Steam support will tell me to pound sand.

cybersandwich,

The more I see about NixOS, the less I understand it.

Is it a pain in the ass to use on a daily basis? It just seems like one of those things where the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

cybersandwich,

Did you guys just become best friends???

cybersandwich,

And they can’t do this now??? Everything is posted publicly.

mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }

Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.

cybersandwich,

My app keeps crashing. That’s the older version of my alias.

mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }

cybersandwich,

I think there will be a natural constriction and consolidation in communities over the next few months.

It was almost like a landgrab with all the excitement and people creating communities. A lot of them were similar so they are diluted a bit.

I think, eventually, we’ll see people gravitate to one or two particular instances of <type of community here> and the other will close or wither.

I wish some of the Lemmy servers were more intentional about community creation though–to reduce the number of similar communities.

Is anyone defending the Rebuilders?

I want to be clear on my bias here: I firmly believe that open source would not be a ‘thing’ if it weren’t for Red Hat. Linus Torvalds himself once said (albeit 10 years ago) that the shares he received from Red Hat before their IPO was ‘his only big Linux payout’. I don’t think anyone would disagree with the...

cybersandwich,

I would say its wrong/unethical and could make an argument that it undermines the spirit of the FOSS community in general. I think the rebuilders/mimics are exploiting the GPL in a “race to the bottom” situation where they’re just going to copy that code and sell it for cheaper and cheaper. It’s like a shitty middle man who’s only value proposition undermines a stalwart of the open source community.

All that does for the FOSS community is harm. If a company, who has seriously been a champion (even with all their flaws) of FOSS, can’t do business in this space because of this, we ALL lose out.

If you want to rebuild and provide a free copy of Redhat where you’ve added literally nothing of value, go for it. But when you start outbidding Redhat on contracts because you are taking their hard work for free? That’s absolutely shitty and wrong. No one should stand for that even if they “technically” didn’t violate the GPL.

I honestly don’t blame Redhat for this and the angst being thrown their way misses the fact that these rebuilders are being super shitty.

cybersandwich,

I guess we’ll see if the GPL has been violated. I actually think, if it hasn’t been violated, it sets a weird precedence.

This is a situation with sides and two of them are being shitty. The third side, the users, are getting caught in the middle.

cybersandwich,

I always love the Linux communities obsession with bloat.

The definition for it is so fluid its almost useless anymore. “Neovim is bloated!” “systemd is bloated and slow”

(This isn’t a jab at you btw. It’s a commentary on silly Linuxisms)
